Backend systems,
built for the real world.
I'm Abishek — a Computer Science student building distributed systems, financial ledgers, and the kind of reliability-focused infrastructure that holds up under load, failure, and review.
What I care about
I'm drawn to systems that can be explained, tested, and trusted. That shows up in my work through release governance, transactional storage, idempotent ledgers, distributed coordination, and explicit failure handling.
Alongside backend work, I explore research-heavy engineering problems, AI robustness, and open-source collaboration inside real, production-scale codebases.
Current priorities
- Systems ReleaseGate, ShardDB, MIDAS Ledger, Job Orchestrator
- Research AI safety, failure modes, and software reliability
- Goal Internship roles where backend depth and engineering judgment matter
The systems I've been building
ReleaseGate
Jira-native release governance engine with declarative policy enforcement, immutable audit snapshots, and offline-verifiable proof packs.
ShardDB
Fault-tolerant transactional key-value store with custom Raft, 2PC, snapshots, and chaos-tested linearizability checks.
MIDAS Ledger
Concurrency-safe financial ledger with double-entry accounting, idempotent transfers, and invariant-based stress testing.
Job Orchestrator
Multi-tenant job orchestration system with race-free leasing, fairness controls, transactional outbox delivery, and observability.
